UPDATE: Former murder suspect pleads guilty to perjury charges in Del.

A former murder suspect will spend the next decade behind bars, after he apparently gave false testimony during a murder trial.

Gerard Schweiger was in court on Wednesday, for a plea. During that hearing, Schweiger pleaded guilty to one count of perjury, and one count of second degree conspiracy. For the perjury charge, he was sentenced to eight years in prison, followed by two years at Level III probation. For the conspiracy offense, Schweiger was sentenced to two years in prison. Overall, he will spend the next 10 years in prison, followed by one year probation.

Gerard Schweiger, along with Phillip Wright reportedly lied during their testimony in the trial for the 2013 murder of Tony Mozick in Leipsic. In August of 2014, Schweiger was found not guilty of 1st degree murder in that case. After he was released from prison in September, he apparently admitted to killing Mozick, during a recorded phone call. Schweiger also reportedly admitted to giving false information during his testimony, as well as bribing Wright to lie to establish an alibi. He reportedly met with Wright while the two were behind bars last year. Police say he told Wright to say they had met at a bus stop in Dover on the night of the murder in 2013, when they really did not.

Back in April, the Department of Justice told 47 ABC, that Gerard Schweiger would not be tried again for first-degree murder of Tony Mozick, citing the double jeopardy clause of the US constitution, which states that once acquitted a defendant may not be retried for the same offense.
